take the sign down from atop Billy's
Ritz.

The contractor says they'll
probably start taking it down around 11

It'll get new neon lights, and be
fully repaired, before rising again.

Only this time, it'll sit above
the Shenandoah Hotel, which is owned by

The public IS welcome to come out
today and watch the sign being taken
